The Spectacle of Pacific Rim

When I was in college back in 2010, I took a two week theater course in London where my classmates and I were able to see a different stage production almost every night.  Our professor gave us a list of questions to think over and answer after each show, and one of the questions was is we thought the spectacle of the show (the visuals, the audio, etc.) were covering up the flaws of the show itself, by means of distraction.  It's a good question to keep in mind whenever the biggest draw of some form of entertainment is based solely on its aesthetics.  I had to bring that question up again two weeks after London, when I saw Avatar.  But that's not the movie I want to talk about.

Better Late Than Never: Final Fantasy X Review

   What is there to gain from talking about a ten year old game that everyone's already played?  I like to think that a pair of fresh eyes can add new insight to anything, especially when said eyes have a lot of experience with the medium in question.  I'd like to do this for anything I get to years after the fact, as a sort of experiment.  Also, I'm going to assume anyone who reads this is familiar with the topic at had, so there will be spoilers.   Now, let's get started.

First Time

I have no idea what to expect while doing this.  I'm not even sure what I'm going to talk about most of the time, beyond the standard games/comics/entertainment topics that almost everyone else talks about anyway.  But there's no harm in trying something new, so I'll just see where this takes me.
